Socket for GitHub Actions
Socket fights vulnerabilities and provides visibility, defense-in-depth, and proactive supply chain protection for your open source dependencies. It is easy to integrate Socket into your Github Actions to provide an extra layer of security against Supply Chain Attacks.
Adding Socket to your Github Actions Workflow
Create your Socket API Key
You can either create your API Key yourself if you have permissions in your socket.dev account or you can have your Admin create it for you with the Reports scope.
-
Log into the socket.dev dashboard
-
Go to Settings
-
Go to the API Tokens tab
-
Select Create API Token
-
Give the token a name like Gitlab API Token
-
Select the following scopes
-
report
- report:list
- report:read
-
repo
- repo:list
- repo:create
- repo:update
-
full-scans
- full-scans:list
- full-scans:create
-
-
Click Confirm
-
Click on Show key
-
Click on the API Token to copy
Create your Socket Environment variables
- Log into your Github Org
- Set up your Action Secret at either the Repo or Org level
- For the repo level
- Go to Settings
- Secrets and variables
- Actions
- New repository secret
- For the repo level
Setup the Github Actions Workflow
The Action Workflow currently uses the auto generated Github Actions token based on the permissions that are requested in the Workflow. The sample Workflow Yaml can be customized to your needs. It currently runs on every push and issue_comment type event.
- Go to your repo
- Create a new file with the name
.github/workflows/socket.yml
- Add in the Socket Actions Yaml from below.
name: socket-security-workflow
run-name: Socket Security Github Action
